With two weeks left to go, we are now up to: $1073!


Thanks again to all those who've contributed, as well as those who plan to but haven't had a chance yet.

A few more donations came in yesterday, bumping our current total to: $977

Now for the big news...

I find myself with an extra Gentle Giant Shocktrooper Mini Bust/Bust-Up set from the San Diego Comicon.  As a incentive/thank you to those who plan to, or already have, donate(d) I've decided to hold a raffle for the bust (Retail Value: $60).  Here's how it'll work:

For every $5 you contribute(d) to the fund, you will receive one entry in the raffle.  Therefore, if you donate(d) $5, you get one entry, if you donate(d) $25, you get five entries, etc.  I will draw the winning name on or about August 31st to allow for any straggling checks to arrive by snail mail and clear the bank.

As always, if you need my PayPal or snail mail address to send a donation, please PM me.  Thanks!

I received a couple more snail-mail contributions and another PayPal contribution since my last post, so the total of all contributions to date is now $703

A few folks have mentioned that they'd like to contribute, but are a bit strapped for cash this month, so I'm going to extend the deadline for contributions to August 18.  I want to give everyone who wants to an opportunity to contribute, I just don't want to keep it open indefinitely.

Thanks again for all your wonderful support for Aidan.

A few PayPal contributions arrived while I was in San Diego, and one check arrived right before I left, bringing the total for contributions from folks at Jedi Defender, Galactic Hunter, and the Dallas/Fort Worth Fan Force to: $474  so far.

I put my mail on hold while I was away and it should be delivered today, so if you sent a check or money order and it should have arrived by now, it's probably not lost in the mail. 

Thanks again to those who have already contributed so generously.  If you haven't had a chance to contribute yet and would like to, drop me a PM and I will send you my PayPal or snail mail address, whichever you'd prefer.

Sorry I haven't updated for a couple of days, but we're currently still at $376.  I was waiting for a few of the checks/M.O.s or more PayPal payments to roll in before I updated the total. 

If some more come in today, I'll update before I leave for San Diego, but that will probably be the last update until Tuesday, the 25th.

Thanks again to everyone who has donated so generously so far!

I don't believe this is Thomas Costabile  ;D

Couldn't be.  If that was USCwannabe, all she would have had to do was show that picture and she'd have won by 5,000 votes.

I arrive on Wednesday and head home on Monday, so yeah, I'll be there the whole time.  I forget how late Preview night runs - 6 to 10?  Wednesday might be tough for me what with jetlag and being old and all.  ;)  Thursday, Friday and or Saturday would work though.

I'm honestly not sure who all is going from GH.  I'm sure Mike will be there, and Adam P., I'd imagine.  Other than that it looks like it's going to be me and Andrew (Musasa).  Dave can't make it until Saturday and I'm not sure whether Jason is heading down or not.

So is anyone going to Comic Con wearing USC clothes. 
I stopped at an athletic lettering place today on the way home from work and they are printing a shirt for me, which they assure me will be ready by Tuesday.

On the front it will read: I voted for Willrow Hood...

& on the back: ...and USCwannabe

Well, you're not going to get your pic on SW.com's SDCC coverage now are you?
 ;)

Yeah, it's a shame the hyperspace webcam won't be set up this year.  :)

I'm planning to wear the shirt on Friday.  And btw, I did vote for W.H., but *shhhhh* I refused to vote in that farcical FC President thing.  ;)

I suspect we may have a few more pix to add to this thread come next week...

I'll do my best to make them "entertaining", as usual.  :P



What night(s) are you guys going to Hooters?

I'm happy to do it, Jesse. 

As of this morning we are up to $293 thanks to the generous folks here as well as at GalacticHunter.  That total is only for money I have received and does not include checks or money orders people have told me they are sending.

I am planning to collect until July 31st, after which I'll purchase the bond and send it to Aidan.

Hi gang.  I just wanted to let you know that we have started a collection at Galactic Hunter to buy Shannon's son, Aidan, a savings bond.  We know you guys loved Shannon as much as we did, so we wanted to give you the opportunity to contribute as well.

If you'd like to make a donation, and any amount is welcome, please PM me for either my PayPal address, or my snail mail address if you'd prefer to pay by check or M.O.

So far we have raised approximately $150.
